This is a really cool idea. He has a MISTER hooked up to an old Rasberry Pi in order to scan a barcode to play any game you want. It's a cool set up, and I would LOVE to see something like this in a library.

Yeah, that's very cool, it reminds us we are truly living in the future, even simple things like this were unheard of in the past.

That's ingenious. Sell all your lose cartridges and keep the boxes. What a world.

To be fair, they did do that at some Sears locations back in the day, where it was just a small store front in a mall & you picked things out from a catalog. And Toys R Us would have little pictures of games with the barcodes on the wall. |
